Twelve-year-old fourth-generation supervillain Alex, who has telekinetic powers, finds himself questioning his family's values after he saves a teenage superhero's life. With a full cast of engaging super-powered tweens, and a unique focus on everyday life as a villain-in-training, this book will appeal to kids keen on the hero genre and comics like Marvel's Avengers. Kraatz leaves ample room for future installments.
